Want a more open system to share research and data? Then OpenCon 2016 could be the catalyst for you to pursue these passions and the OHSU Library wants to send you to Washington, D.C., where the conference is being held this year, Nov. 12 to 14.

OpenCon is designed to teach scientists and scholars from around the world about open access, open data, and open education, and foster a discussion on key issues surrounding scholarly communications and publications. The conference seeks to empower students and early career academic professionals with the critical skills necessary to create a more accessible and global system for sharing research and data. Keynote speakers, including Philip Bourne, associate director of data science, the National Institutes of Health, and Jimmy Wales, founder of Wikipedia, will be featured amid a program of panel discussions and hackathons.

Since the first conference held in 2014, OpenCon has developed into an international community which has continued to support and organize the annual event alongside the sponsorship of scholarly organizations such as the Right to Research Coalition and the Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition.

OHSU Library is sponsoring two scholarships to send any OHSU student or postdoctoral researcher to the conference. Scholarships will cover travel costs, lodging, conference registration, and most meals. Applications can be found here.

The learning experience features three core elements: a didactic education in patient-centered outcomes research, an individualized experiential plan, and a significant, mentored research experience. Scholars will receive salary support for a minimum of 75% FTE up to a maximum of $90,000 per year – with home departments paying any difference in salary, plus applicable fringe benefits (up to $22,500 per year), and $25,000 per year for research development support costs, such as supplies, research support, and travel. Applicants should propose a research study appropriate to patient-centered outcomes research, including their patient-engagement stakeholder plan, and should identify more than one mentor. This research will be conducted over the two-year award and should lead to a proposal for a K01, K08, K23, or an R01 grant or equivalent.

To be eligible, applicants must 1) be U.S. citizens or non-citizen nationals, or individuals lawfully admitted for permanent residence by September 15, 2014, 2) hold a clinical or health professional doctoral degree or its equivalent, 3) be able to commit a minimum of 75% full-time professional effort to conducting patient-centered outcomes research, 4) have a full-time faculty appointment, and 5) have identified mentors with extensive research experience. Scholars are also required to participate in an evidence review. See OHSU Funding Database for complete opportunity details.

Applications are due September 15, 2014. All application materials should be emailed to Caitlin Dickinson, MPH.

The Heritage Provider Network, National Institutes of Health, and the Center for Advancing Innovation have teamed up to search for commercially viable brain-related inventions important to public health. Teams will have an opportunity to develop a business plan for a brain-related invention and launch a start-up. The challenge is intended to accelerate the commercialization of Federal agency brain-related inventions, spur economic growth, and provide universities with a platform to further develop their entrepreneurship-learning portfolio.

Teams must consist of at least two graduate students or fellows and one entrepreneur. Up to 600 teams will be selected to compete for prizes and start-up money. If you are interested in participating, but having trouble finding partners on campus, the program’s Wiggio site can help you connect with potential partners from across the globe.

All OHSU researchers (especially trainees!) are invited to attend these skill-building seminars that are intended to help you prepare for giving an oral or poster presentation at OHSU Research Week, May 5-9, 2014.

Juggling this endeavor with all else the PI must do – writing papers, teaching, mentoring, gaining and maintaining funding, creating collaborative and productive relationships with other PIs – can be challenging at best. This 1.5-day course, led by Jennifer Crosby-Meurisse and Rachel Dresbeck, PhD, both from the Office of the Vice President for Research, will help you learn to manage people with a focus on the particular needs of running a lab.

Strategies for approaching the role of “coach” in the lab – developing your leadership style

Recruitment and retention strategies – Building (and maintaining) the best team for your lab

Steps to take when coaching doesn’t work – Performance management in the lab

Resources that are available to you to support you and your lab staff

Enrollment is limited; there is no cost to participants. Please indicate your interest and willingness to participate by registering for this course. Participants will be notified of acceptance after registering.
